Summary

At the July 7 hearing, homeowner Dean Bremke testified that standing water on his rear property does not drain, has killed trees and runs into his septic system; he voiced support for the Curtice Ditch restoration adopted by the Board.

Local resident Dean Bremke (41500 Peck Wadsworth Road) told the Board on July 7 that "he has water on his back property that does not drain and has lost trees and water runs into his septic," describing property damage and public-health concerns from poor drainage. Bremke said he welcomed the planned improvements and that homeowners in the area have signed on to the restoration effort.

Bremke's testimony was part of the public hearing the Board held under R.C. Chapter 6117 before recording Resolution 26-389 to authorize the Curtice Drainage Improvement Project. The record indicates the project aims to restore an outlet affecting eight septic systems and to improve drainage along Peck Wadsworth Road; the Board closed the hearing by unanimous roll call and recorded the project authorization.
